"I knew her at the hospital," Adelaide admits. "She covered for me when I was coming over here, let 'em think I was there when I wasn't. That was before she knew Jims, or at least before she knew I knew him." She is aware that it could sound plenty hypocritical to be talking bad about their relationship in the same breath that she's telling how Lita helped her, but the whole thing was never about Lita being a bad person. "I'm big enough to admit that it's not personal. Anybody got too near my brother, I'd be snarling, just like I expect he would if it was reversed," she shrugs.
The other woman, however, does seem to have done a bit to create the ire thrown at her, and Adelaide scoffs. "Seems to me her every move shows a pretty big lack of understanding," she says, but then her eyes sharpen, stance changes from casual to something more. "You think she's up to something real, not just being a crazy ex?" she asks. From the minute she met Teagan she was impressed by the woman's instincts, her perception about people and her ability to cut through the bull. If she's inclined to say that Willa is up to something, she thinks it's worth looking at twice. Maybe there's circumstances, with both women's feelings about Bishop, but Adelaide likes to think Teagan is beyond that.
